Rosebud Quilt Pattern

The name of this block is "The Rosebud"

Red Table Topper Using Quilt Squares

I'm finished up my projects, this is a table topper, all hand quilted.

I was asked yesterday, via e-mail, "How do you get some much done?"

I'm a list maker, always have been.

And I a lot time to everything. I learned this from a book??? I know, me and the books.

It's by Chet Holmes, "The Ultimate Sales Machine" not a title you'd think a quilter would go for, but very good with my time management, I needed it. I'd spend days in my studio and NEVER come out.

So, on my list, finish this one, and I can start a flower quilt for a class and a book.

I'm still working on the "Little Quilt Ladies" Series (C), and they are looking good.

But the next one, the flower one, "OH BABY" I like !

Sew Happy,

Choosing the Fabric Back of My Quilt

This is the backing for MY Quilt. It's been a very long process, but the backing is off to the washer and I'm off to find all the pieces to my quilt stand ? I went to the quilt shop planning on purchasing white for the back, but I love paisley and then pink too... Need say no more.

I'll be sharing my progress,

Finishing Vines and Leaves Book Eight of The Quilt Ladies Book Collection

The quilt is together and I have to do the finish work in the vines and leaves.
I left vine material to do this.

I always stitch the outside edge first, I think it's the way I was taught to do it.
I pin first and remove the pins as I go, this material was a bit frayed and needle turning was hard.

Then the inside curve, same as the outside, I pin first.

Leaves are next, just as the vines, pin and stitch. I clip the curve to help it lay down flat.

One corner finished, 3 to go.

Book 8 of the Quilt Ladies
A Wedding.....  bethanndoing.com
All Quilt Ladies Books on Kindle - 

NOW all The Quilt Ladies Books are in ONE Book - HERE

The writing of book 8 was so much fun for me. I planned a wedding and had to answer, ask or tell anyone, why or what I wanted. From the simpleness of the day, to the family and friends. It is what I hope my day was about, many years ago.

At the time of book 8's writing, we lived in Windom, Minnesota. A VERY long way from home and I had some very long days and even longer nights. Son #2 was in high school, working, sports and always busy,
Husband had his first retail store and worked 24/7.
And I wrote, the wedding was on.....
I wrote, ate and dreamed of nothing but a wedding, for months and months.
Then came the quilt.
It was overwhelming, everything I've always wanted in a quilt.
This one was designed and done for me, no one else, just me.

There are 12 blocks, pieced on a sewing machine and hand appliqued with
vines and leaves.

Putting It All Together - Little Boy's First Quilt

I’m in the process of finishing Grand One’s birthday present and thought I’d walk through it….

Here we go.

The backing goes down first, good side of fabric to the floor. I use the middle of our living room. Then batting, this is cotton, and I used two layers, for kids and being tied I like that.

Then add the pieced quilt top, I use Quilter’s straight pins, on something being tied I don’t hand baste. I would if hand quilting. And I use these pins they leave no holes in your fabric.

I move it to the dining room table, and start to tie. I have a great light above the dining room table and I’m comfortable there, and can see the television. I can do about anything with the sound of an old movie in the background.

Darning needle, yarn cut about 30 inches long

No knot and leave about 2 inch tail

Continue as a long running stitch

Cut yarn

Tie with a basic knot

I’ll show the final project soon, just about finished.

Number one Husband has been talking about a new sleeping bag quilt too.

I even hear the, "Grand One got one". They never grow up ! ! !

That maybe next?
